KSP is Out of Lockdown

Thanks to the government's easing of COVID-19 restrictions, the KSP Writers' Centre team are pleased to announce that our doors are back open again! Staff are in the office Monday through Friday from 10am-2pm (unless unwell), and most of KSP's activities are back on track.

In this new coronavirus world, the Centre premises now has a 13-person limit, and a BYO mug policy for tea and coffee (complimentary supplies still provided by KSP). You'll also notice our writing room looks a little different, with tables and chairs spaced to adhere with social distancing requirements.

For your safety and hygiene, we have plenty of sanitiser and disinfectant wipes on hand, and have increased the frequency and thoroughness of cleaning.

What's Happening at KSP?

Writing Groups. Most of KSP's writing groups are back to meeting in person at the Centre - please check the KSP website for details.

Workshops. We have workshops planned in July, October and September, as well as a school holiday workshop in October for the young writer community. Advance bookings are required.

Residencies. Applications for KSP's 2021 salaried program are now being received, with deadlines in June, July and August.

Fellowships. Applications for KSP's 2021 subsidised program will open in July and close on 13 September.
